North Oldham

A new regional tennis tournament format has been added this season to determine a team champion. The change has been welcomed with open arms by the majority of teams across the state, but local coaches have offered different opinions with the new format.

The Kentucky High School Athletic Association approved a plan to add 16 regional team tournaments to qualify the winners for the state championships to be held in May and the sectional round has been eliminated.

The Colonels took their hot bats to Florida to participate in Disney Baseball Spring Training at the ESPN Wide World of Sports campus in Orlando where they wrapped their weeklong slate of games on Thursday.

BUCKNER — A new-look North Oldham softball team is putting aside the idea that 2016 is a rebuilding year. The Lady Mustangs extended their win streak to five with a solid day at the plate in a 9-5 victory at Oldham County Tuesday.

The win for North Oldham (5-1, 2-0 District 29) was just the school’s third win over Oldham County and the first for the Lady Mustangs on the road in Buckner.

North now has sole possession of first place in District 29 with the win over Oldham County (7-3, 1-1).

After all, that’s the objective of the game – shoot the ball to put it in the hoop. And when that is executed flawlessly, there’s nothing more elegant than a perfect arcing shot before you hear the swish of the net.
